The Dangerous Summer
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Dangerous Summer is a 1960 book written by Ernest Hemingway. In it, Hemingway describes, with his own words, the real-life bullfighting rivalry that took place the year before between legendary bullfighters Luis Miguel Dominguín the second and his brother in law Antonio Ordóñez. The two bullfighters wanted to prove who was better by each trying to kill the more bulls than the other during 1959.
Because of his illnesses, Ernest Hemingway was not able to get his novel to the publishers. Therefore, he had his wife, Mary Welsh Hemingway, summon his friend, LIFE Magazine Bureau Head Will Lang Jr., to leave Paris and come to Spain. Hemingway persuaded Will Lang Jr. to let him print the manuscript, along with a picture layout before it came out in hardcover. Although not a word of it was on paper, Ernest agreed to the proposal. The first part of story appeared in LIFE Magazine on September 5, 1960. The other installments were printed on the following issues of LIFE.
The title is perhaps foreshadowed in a phrase to be found in Hemingway's short polemical article"Who Murdered the Vets?: A First-Hand Report on the Florida Hurricane"(New Masses, 17 September 1935), where reference is made to the storm-damaged Florida Keys as "(...) these islands where there is no autumn but only a more dangerous summer (...)".
